We are very excited to announce that we will be sponsoring a regional neon meetup at @uptownneonrva in Richmond,Virginia.
-
SEPTEMBER 16th. 9am-6pm

Virgina seemed to be a nice central location for the east coast folks to get together, and Uptown is a SUPER cool shop. No brainer right?

Started by the late Douglas Solyan in the early 80's this welcoming neon shop is responsible for many iconic Richmond area signs. He gladly shared his love of neon with all interested customers who visited and mentored several people around the world in the ways of bending glass tubing.
--
Sadly Doug passed away in 2022 but his legacy lives on.

@kottwitz.studio his last apprentice and new owner of Uptown Neon kindly opens up her studio for us to visit, hang out, and have some fun in her fires.

Open to members and non members alike!
